A few dozen Maxine Waters supporters came to her Los Angeles office yesterday to counter-protest a handful of conservatives that intended to picket her district office.
Some of the leftists came ready for battle. One “tolerant” progressive showed up ominously lugging a baseball bat.
WATCH:
Facing the prospect of a hostile crowd, the L.A. Times describes how the conservatives decided not to show up after talking to police:
At 1 p.m., police at the protest site said authorities had been in contact with the group, and it had decided not to come in order to ensure peace…
A number of protesters remained near the intersection of 102nd Street and Broadway long after police announced the Oath Keepers were no-shows. For much of this time, the mood remained festive, although it was punctuated with moments of tension.
At one point, counterprotesters pulled a small American flag off of a pickup, doused it in lighter fluid and set it ablaze. The crowd then began chanting, cursing the government and saying, “America was never great.”
Here’s a video of the flag burning, which we’re sure Maxine Water is thrilled to be associated with, even tangentially.
